Easel Card Tutorial

I’ve seen these around and LOVE them. The easel card is the absolute BEST idea for a card in my opinion. I love to display cards I receive for my birthday or other event, but they constantly fall down when I walk by them. Not so much with the easel card!

I put together a quick tutorial to make a simple 4″ x 4″ easel card. Mine is Valentine-themed using some embellishments I offer in my Etsy shop. You can find them directly here.

I started off with a pice of pink 8.5″ x 11″ piece of cardstock. You can cut the width any size you desire. Mine is cut to a 4″ width so that I will end up with a 4″ x 4″ card.

From one end of the paper, measure 4 inches then score the paper. From your scored line, measure 1.5″ and score the paper again. Repeat the last step again so that you now have three scored lines.

Here you can see how the card will look when you fold your scored lines. Just need to decorate the card now!

I have three embellished pieces of paper ready to be attached to the card. On the top left is a 4″ x 4″ piece of black cardstock decorated with my Etsy Valentine inchies. At the top right is the embellished journaling spot (also from the same Etsy Valentine set) to go in the interior of the card. And on the bottom is a 4″ x 1″ piece of embellished black cardstock for the interior bottom of the card.

The completed card. I won’t be knocking this one down by walking by it!

Now go try to make your own easel card. You’ll love how simple they are to make and how fun they are give!
